WTF?! New York appeals court overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction from landmark #MeToo trial And yet Donald Trump was forced to pay off a psychotic liar and rape-fantasist for libel? A "libel" that accurately called her out as a liar for lying about him raping her in a Bergdorf's elevator? With the Alvin Bragg/Letitia James' Stalinist show trials still going on? It is to laugh. And vomit [J.J. Sefton]

Critical Drinker summarizes the Warhammer "Wokehammer" controversy
Warhammer exploded in popularity (and money-making) during covid so BlackRock and Vanguard and all the other wokies decided to step in and ruin it to propagate "The Message"

Reddit rumor: Games Workshop changed the lore of Warhammer 40K because Amazon -- which infamously ruined Tolkein with Rings of (Girl) Power -- demanded that insert a female character in power armor.
There actually is a an all-female unit of "Fighting Nuns" called the Sisters of Battle. There is already-existing lore about female fighters. But according to this rumor, Amazon said that the Sisters of Battle weren't enough, they wanted female characters in the emperor's bodyguard (the Custodes). There are additional claims/speculations that Henry Cavill may walk away from the project, which I find hard to believe, because this is his dream project. He called this "the greatest professional honor of my life." He's been playing the game and reading the novels since he was 10. He is probably the wokies' greatest weapon in this fight.

86 All Agents of Control ". . . [the chaos] of elegant, natural freedom and independence [what Adam Smith referred to as 'the invisible hand'] is in direct contravention of those who have unleashed ideologically driven chaos by destroying freedom of choice in the quest to 'control' individuals as just one mass of a populace. Again, for our own good because we're too stupid and unenlightened to know what's good for us." My latest essay at Taki's Magazine. Please read and comment. [J.J. Sefton]

Biden lied yesterday about his uncle being shot down and then "eaten by cannibals" in Paupa New Guinea. He claims the "government" told him they'd found pieces of the airplane on that island and so the uncle must have been eaten by cannibals. In fact, the plane crashed into the ocean due to engine failure, and we know this as a fact, because one of the fellow crewmen survived and thus reported on the tale. No cannibals, no island crash -- it landed in the ocean, as the official reports say, so no "government" officials would secretly whisper to Biden about a cover-up about cannibals.
By the way, I saw someone note this: Why is Biden angering New Guinea with a lie about their population being cannibals? #ForeignPolicyExpertJoe

A reviewer from Tablet calls Civil War a "good movie" with "stupid politics"
The film relies on a mostly unexplained premise that a future third-term U.S. president has dissolved the FBI, turning the United States into an authoritarian state. Garland doesn't beat the audience over the head with his intentions or his politics. However, in his press tour for the film--including an advance NYC screening earlier this week I attended--he revealed that he felt no need to explain why the country broke apart. "Everyone knows," he says. Indeed, we do.
Without making it explicit in the film, Garland clearly wishes to make an allusion not just to the orange man--and his all-too-familiar badness--but the much-lamented rise of "dangerous populism" across the West. Garland is subtle in how he takes sides, but he clearly aligns with the elitist interpretation of rising mass dissatisfaction as driven by the bad behavior of deplorables and their ignorant love of "disinformation."

MarcLand Gets a Little Paper

Longtime blogger-in-arms MarcLand just got himself a big fat mention and interview in the Detroit Free Press.

Congratulations, Marc.

In related news, Ace of Spades was just asked for his opinion "on a range of consumer issues" including "whether or not I had heard of the new Swiffer Wet-Jet, and if so, if I thought the advertising campaign showed the product in an interesting and attractive light."

So, you know-- don't think you're so great, MarcLand. I've got things happening here, too. I'm a somebody too.

(eyes go up to noose made of electrical cords dangling from pipe in basement ceiling; chugs from jug of Val-U-Rite discount vodka)

Damnit, I'm a somebody too.
